Sick of hearing from customers, "working late, huh?"

[cosmo1]

Damn it @Holydriver deserves to work 5 hours a day and make 6 figures. I don't care what anyone says.

He needs to transfer to the BOG and bump Dave.

For crying out loud. When many of us started, there were no guaranteed eight-hour days.

And as far as most other Americans, there are many salaried people who work much more than 40 hours/week for way less money than a full scale driver earns.

And, if you want to get into the professions, ask your doctor or lawyer how many hours they put in.







Freaking entitled D*'s.

My mom is Director of Training and Development for a 5 billion dollar company. Spends 3 months a year in Europe. Works almost as many hours as most of the drivers in my building. Our feeder driver makes more money than she does.

I don't blame people necessarily. I understand the job is tough. But I think many live in such a fantasy world they don't realize the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Yes that do and that's why they stay. They just feel better complaining about it.

Dave doesn't make six figures.

I like when it's a torrential downpour and they say...

"Stayin dry out there?"

 

[Coldworld]

as a matter of fact i didnt know the hours. no one tells you that UPS only offers 22 days a year of a guarantee relief of overtime. most other americans might work 22 days a year of overtime...

Ups run their people into the ground....

 

[iamupser]

Let's face it if 1 day everyone's overtime was cut, you'd all be belly aching you can't afford your boat, vacation home, wifey's new Lexus, etc...

UPS is one of the few companies that actually gets a full days worth of production out of their employees. Statistics show that most office employees really only do productive work anywhere 2-5 hours were day. The rest of the time is talking, going to the bathroom, on social media, etc. So you call it running them into the ground, UPS calls it getting their money's worth.

 

[Cementups]

A full-time driver in Central PA with 6 weeks of vacation, a week of sick and a week of option days (if they use them all) and 8 paid holidays only really works 213 of the 365 days of the year. So you have 1/3 of the year off. Not too shabby for $85k+/year

Shouldn't have to kill yourself for a fair days work... Too many people here are getting hurt and having operations and lost time injuries...is that ups' way of getting their money's worth ???

lol. 22 years at UPS and never had a lost time injury. This past Labor Day weekend I rolled a go kart and broke my shoulder and haven't worked in 12 weeks. And it was't because I was overworked. Funny how that happens.

Glad you have had a safe career...many others haven't...did you have to have surgery on the shoulder ??

No. No surgery. Just 2-3 months of the bone healing. And therapy. Lots and lots of therapy so I can return to work. It can't get hear fast enough. I'm bored silly and I'm getting fat. I love being lazy, just hate the consequences.

I don't know that I could ever be fully retired. I'll at least have to have a pt job.

The reason I am still here. Plus I know I can never find a PT job that pays $33/hr with full benefits and 7 weeks paid vacation a year. Guess I must be spoiled.
